Publisher's Synopsis
The name itself conjures up an image of a land of imposing ice formations, and while that isn't too far off, Iceland is more than just arctic temps and shining glaciers. Don't let the cold deter you: Iceland might be almost at the top of the world, just below the Arctic Circle, but its winter temperatures are often warmer than those in New York (and it's only a 5-hour plane ride from New York, too).While its dramatic, otherworldly natural wonders, especially the northern lights, are nothing short of magical, there are many more reasons you'll be enchanted on a visit to Iceland. So pack your (faux) fur-trimmed hat and prepare to be wowed by this unique little island country.
